The WHY: The purpose of the project is to enrich and empower our Cougar Scholars to honor and celebrate their own rich cultures and histories with learning that in most meaningful to them. The HOW: Students will develop inquiry-based learning tasks that will result in text talks, class discussions, and a culminating field trip to the Avery Research Center at the College of Charleston to finalize their inquiry-based identity research projects. The EXPERTS: Chris Cato and Akua Page, Cultural/Linguistic Educators and co-founders of Geechee Experience, will provide our Cougar Scholars with the past and present history of Gullah Geechee culture and language through their customized course, Geechee 101. Courtney Hicks, Outreach Assistant, Avery Research Center, will provide students with educational tours and access to research to assist them with their inquiry-based learning curiosities. "The mission of the Avery Research Center is to collect, preserve, and promote the unique history and culture of the African diaspora, with an emphasis on Charleston, the South Carolina Lowcountry, and beyond. Avery’s archival collections, museum exhibitions, and public programming reflect these diverse populations as well as the wider African Diaspora." - Mission Statement, Avery Research Center
